XDIE Legends : The Walking Dead's Last Jedi

Chapter 1 : Exile

Many years ago (The Walking Dead Season 1 Timeline)

"So kid, what brings you out here. Macon is pretty rural compared to where you come from" asked Doug.

"I'm trying to find a good place to settle down. I didn't exactly the best treatment from where I came from" I said.

"Right, you being a jedi would have that effect. "Haven't ran into many of you but you guys are some good people. Always willing to lend a hand"

"Yeah... I wish things would have been different for me" I said. "Being a 13 year old jedi on the run makes you an easy target for anyone. Thanks for trusting me Doug, I know I'm a stranger but..."

"Don't mention it kid, I'm not gonna leave you alone by yourself. Once I get you to Macon, I'll help you find a place to stay" said Doug.

We were approaching the town. I could see the buildings but noticed something strange, there were cars abandoned and crashed into buildings.

"Doug, is that normal" I asked.

"Definitely not. I'm gonna pull over, will check it out on foot" said Doug.

We pulled over and got out of the truck. The first thing that caught my attention was the smell. It was foul and rotten, like a hundred things died all at once and were slowly rotting away. "What's that stench" I asked.

"I don't know but whatever it is..." he stopped speaking as if he was shocked. I looked in front of him, I couldn't believe my eyes. They're were bodies everywhere. All had been mangled and torn apart. The blood was so much that even I felt a little nauseous. "What the hell happened..." I asked. Doug didn't answer, the shock was definitely getting to him. Then something caught my eye. A person limping towards a van.

"Hey Doug look..." I said as I pointed out to him. "It's a person, he might need help"

We both ran as fast as we could to help the person that was clearly in pain. "Hey you, are you ok. Do you need help" I yelled. The person then tuned his head. What we saw made us freeze. The person's face was covered in blood and his eyes were deluded and clouded, like he was sick. His clothes had also been covered in blood and were torn in places. He began walking towards us. I reached behind my back and grasped my jedi lightsaber. I moved back a little along with Doug.

"Uhh sir, we don't want any trouble" I said. The person began to move even faster. He was limping more frequently. "Something's not right..."

The person began to growl and his at us, opening his mouth and raising his arms at us. I pulled out my lightsaber and ignited it. "Stay back... don't make me do this" I yelled.

The person got closer and the blood was even more noticeable but there was something else. The person's flesh was pale and deformed. The person was now arms length away from me. I then took my lightsabers blade and hit the person in the chest. "What the hell is wrong with him" I asked Doug.

"I... I don't know" Doug said. Before I could respond the person that I stabbed reached his arms out to attack me. I was confused and surprised. I just put a fatal blow in this man, how is he still moving. I pulled my lightsaber out of the person's chest and cut off his head. I backed up and fell to the ground. "What the hell..." I said.

Doug came behind me and pulled me back to my feet. "How did... what... something's not right" I said in a stutter. Before I could continue, the sound of growling and hissing caught my attention. I turned to my left to see a number of people walking towards us looking as pale and deformed as the person I killed. "Holly shit... we need to go" Doug said.  We ran in the streets until Doug noticed a news vehicle being over run by more of those "things".

"Help... someone help" a woman screamed. Doug darted right past me and ran towards the van. I used the force to push and remove many of the   "things" attacking the van. "Doug grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her out of the van. "Are you ok" he asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. We need to get inside a building" she said.

"Hey..." someone yelling at us. I turned to face the individual who yelled. It was another woman standing in front of a drug store, tall with long brown hair. "You want to die or not. Get the hell in here before those things catch up" she yelled. None of us hesitated and ran towards the store. We ran inside and immediately closed the gates. Doug and I were completely out of breath.

"Thanks for saving me out there, both of you. I don't think I would have made it with out you. By the way, my name is Carley" she said. "Pleasure to meet you, I'm Doug" he said.

Carley looked at me next. "And you jedi, what's your name". Doug looked at me to, I had never told him my name on the drive here. "It's... it's Locke. That's my name" I said. "Funny to run into a jedi. Never thought I'd see one" said Carley. "I'm probably the only one you'll meet. All the others are gone... we weren't treated to fairly after what the government did to us" I said.

"Your awfully young, how old are you" asked Carley. "13... my master died trying to get me free from authorities. I don't trust giving that information to most people..." I said in a serious tone. "I don't think your gonna have to worry about that any time soon... not with this going on. The damn things came out of know where" said Carley.

I turned around and looked out the gates. The streets were overrun. "What are these things..." I asked. "I don't know Locke... there dead people that are walking and... eating people" said Carley. "Whatever they are, they're pretty bad... and disgusting" I said. "On that we can agree. I just wish we knew what caused all of this. I came to town wanting a burger and sleep... and I come to this. Hell, I'm just glad you were here with me Locke. There's no telling what could have happened if you weren't there" said Doug.

The streets continued to echo with growls and shrieks from the dead that roamed around. "Master... I wish you were with me" I whispered.

This story popped up in my head so I wanted to give it a try. If it goes well, I will continue on this crazy road of a jedi fighting the walking dead. Locke will be an interesting addition to the great Telltale story. Hope you enjoy and if you have any recommendations or requests, drop it in the comments👌
